Steroid question -looking for advice

[dut]

Hi - I hope this isn't abuse of the forum but I was looking for info on general supportive measures while on extended steroids and also wondering if anyone has any experience with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).

 

My sister has just been given a PMR dx and has been told she'll need to be on steroids (15mg/day) for 18 months or so.

 

Should she be taking calcium and Vit D to support bone health? Anything else? I seem to remember B12 being needed. Should she support gut health more than normal?

 

Any info/advice would be really helpful.

 

thanks
